[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1487095, member: 27490"] I turned 18 in August 1968. In September 1968, I enrolled in college under a College deferment. You are spot on!!! My high school mates were being killed in Vietnam. My brother was drafted in 1969. He was a soldier in the infantry. He was an APC driver in charge of a crew of 4. The 50 cal machine gun on top was used for putting down a fire cover rather than transporting personnel. He was wounded twice and came home with a purple heart. My cousin, Johhnny, was sent home in a box. A helicopter pilot, shot down and burned to death. It is too easy to forget the heart aches of that era. [/QUOTE]
